After Gardner’s sentencing to life in prison for the crime and the disappearance and murder of Escondido teenager Amber Dubois, Chelsea’s parents Kelly and Brent King decided to move from San Diego to Naperville, the community in Illinois where Chelsea grew up.

It was from there this week that the Kings sat down and talked about the recent approval of a bill proposing changes to how the state handles convicted sex offenders like the man who killed their daughter.

“In San Diego, Tyler’s known as Chelsea’s brother. Here, Tyler can be Tyler,” Brent King said.

The Kings haven’t cut all ties with Poway. At the time of their move, The family will keep an apartment in the North County and plan to return to the area about once a month, according to our media partners the North County Times.

The Kings also plan to run the San Diego-based Chelsea’s Light Foundation from donated office space in Carmel Valley.
